I don't think there's been any assumption about dark motives by anyone as far as
I can tell. It's legitimate to ask whether it's the operator or the computer
program that is playing the game, and what the rules are in a situation like the
one encountered. The game should have been continued until the program resigned
or until Tiviakov lost on time, or various other possibilities allowed by the
rules used. At least that's my opinion. If you side with one or the other then
it's easy to uncover dark motives around every corner.

Sincerely,
Mogens
